Symbol: Ti Atomic Number: 22 Atomic Mass: 47.867 amu Melting Point: 1660.0 °C (1933.15 K, 3020.0 °F) Boiling Point: 3287.0 °C (3560.15 K, 5948.6 °F) Number of Protons/Electrons: 22 Number of Neutrons: 26 Classification:Transition Metal Crystal Structure: Hexagonal Density @ 293 K: 4.54 g/cm3 Color: silverish Date of Discovery: 1791 Discoverer: William Gregor
Name Origin: From the Greek word titanos (Titans) How it is found: It is found in a solid state Uses: engine cases, turbine blades, rotors, compressor blades, discs, rings, bulkheads, landing gear, hydraulic system parts, wing supports, fasteners, tail assemblies, and in some cases, the aircraft skin, and more! Obtained From: minerals (ilmenite, rutile) World Resources: "Ilmenite supplies about 92% of the world’s demand for titanium minerals. World resources of anatase, ilmenite, and rutile total more than 2 billion tons." Fact from metalprices.com How Titanium got its name
It gets its name from Greek mythology, from the Titans.
The Titans were incredibly strong and powerful gods.
The Greek word Titan means "first sons on earth".
Source of symbol
Titanium is a transition metal element with a valency of either 2 or 3, and is Paramagneti
Interesting facts:
"It also has the highest strength to weight ratio of all metals. It is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. It is more than twice as heavy as aluminum but at least twice as strong.
It’s resistance to most environmental or chemical attacks.
Strong, lightweight, heat resistant, rust-proof, corrosion resistant, virtually indestructible, bio-neutral, non-toxic, and colorful when heated, titanium is a universal material."
